Ive had the Mad Hatter, the Oak Aged Hatter, and now the Black Hatter, brewed with black malt.
Appearance: A rich dark chocolate brown with a light khaki colored head and a superb display of lacing.
Smell: Floral hops and just a tinge of bready malts.
Taste: Bitter and resinous hops are the first to the scene. There is a roasted malt backbone which is very nice and I find this brew to be dark and uplifting. Pine, zest and roasted malts. As it warms, the black malt comes out ever so slightly, but never loses hop flavor.
Mouthfeel: Medium to full bodied. Good level of carbonation.
Drinkability: A very impressive brew from New Holland Brewing. A good style of beer too.

22oz. Bought at Globe. "2014 Vintage". Although I get some off flavors that I am assuming are due to its age, for an IPA that is over a year old this beer still holds it's own and has a nice complexity to it.

Not hoppy enough to be considered an I.P.A. But does have great flavor. More of a porter than anything.

A full-on carbonation explosion settles into a thick and rocky tan head.
Rye, toasted grain and caramel to the nose.
Pine on the tongue followed by malts and dark fruits and not much more to write about except a slight bitterness at the end.
Medium-bodied and easy to drink.
So much left to be desired from my first New Holland brew.
